By David Milliken and Costas Pitas LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's trade deficit narrowed more than expected in October but overall there was little sign exports were getting much help from sterling's fall since Britain voted to leave the European Union in June, data showed on Friday. The trade deficit in October narrowed to 1.971 billion pounds from 5.812 billion pounds in September, the narrowest figure since May. The deficit in goods alone was lower than all forecasts in a Reuters poll. The Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday it had been misclassifying trade in gold since January 2015.

By Tarek Amara TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisia's parliament has voted against two articles in next year's budget imposing taxes on lawyers and pharmacists, in a blow to government efforts to cut the deficit and implement economic reforms. The vote late on Thursday came a day after the government backtracked on plans to freeze public sector wages in 2017 following a deal with the powerful UGTT union. Finance Minister Lamia Zribi said Tunisia would need $3.7 billion in foreign loans in 2017, $1 billion more than anticipated two months ago.
